Solve : May I advetise a free product?? |
|
Answer» Hi! Joseph Rose a.k.a. Harry Potter, here. I read PARTS of the agreement, and it said that I can't advertise. Is it okay to advertise and share freeware here? I have some....No. And thank your for asking.Oh. You might want to go to a website where it has a list of freeware and try there instead. Where else can I distribute and advertise DOS software?Not here... Utilities written by and for 30 year old software development software appeal to a very small fraction of people. Someone named Harry Potter has posted a few batch files on Usenet in alt.msdos.batch.nt in recent weeks and also asked where else to publish them. Was that you? Is that what you are creating - they were batch files.

Assuming the "Harry Potter" nick on sourceforge is the same individual, it SEEMS one is a VBDOS program designed to create file templates, which is apparently a feature in Win32 according to the readme. The other is a .DSK file with no documentation that I'm unable to open with Winimage.If any of it is open source you can post it on github etc. I posted a few projects there I wrote in C++ for the taking as open source as well as compiled form for download. Its nothing that you could ever make any money on, but might be useful to someone else as it was for myself. Just think of all the programs that people custom write for a specific purpose that many probably wont use so its not a money making program idea, but could be useful to others. As open source, people can download the source and alter it as they want or look at it and know its clean and compile their own copy of the program etc. No hidden Surprises vs a downloaded EXE or a MSI installer etc with unwanted problems bundled within.I thank all of you for your interest. I am the one who posted the batch file. Also, the .dsk files aren't WinImage disk images but Apple2 disk images. The BSW image is an empty data disk for Bank Street Writer, a simple Apple2 word processor for students. I also have two ProDOS images: one directly from the internet, and one that immediately loads into the menu. For the Win32 audience: don't worry. Template Creator for Windows is under production. BTW, I could use more templates. It was never designed to be a money-making scheme but to fulfill a need I had and thought it would HELP others. This leaves me with the same problem: where else can I advertise DOS software on-line? As a matter of face, Win32 software as well?Just create a website of the programs you make and Google will inevitably index your site. Someone is bound to search for something you may have created.I already have the files on sourceforge.net. As for my own web site, I started to, but it didn't get far. Do I have permission to share what the program is? |
